Seclion 1. The representatives of the Democratic party of the United States in national conven- tion assembled reaffirm their alle- giance to the principles of the party as formulated by Jefferson And exemplified by a long illnstri- oos line.of MB successors of Dem- ocratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland- We believe tbe pub- lie welfare demands that these principles be itpptiod to the con- duct of tho federal government through accession to power of- the party that votes tbem; and we solemnly declare that the need of a rottirn io theso fundamental principles of free, popular govern- ment, based on home rale and in- dividual liberty, was never more arge'ht than now, whon the ten- dency to centralize all power at the federal capital has become a men- ace to the reserved rights of the States that strikes at the very roots of "ur government, and nndor the constitution as framed by the fath-

omci- features in the direction of flee, raw material and clieaper man a factored goods than enter into home consumption, and we pro- pose its repeal 33 one of the bene- ficieut results that will follow .'the action of the people in entrusting power to the Democratic party. Sinco the McKinly tarifi want into operation thero have boon tea re- ductions of wages of laboring men to one increase. ¥e deny that there has been any increase of prosperity to the. country since that tariff went irito operation, and we point to the rmllnesa and dis- tress, the*-wage reductions _ and strikes in the iron trade its the best ovidonco that no such prosperity has resulted from the McKinley act. We call the attention of thoughtful merchants to the- fact that for thirty years of restrictive taxation against importations of foreign products in enehange for our agricultural products the homes and farmes of the country have become harder, ^d with a real estate mortgage of two thousand five hundred-million dollars, ex- clusive of all other forms of indebt-

Tlm MsaajenMMt of the Rallimorvanil Ohl> it.iilriKid is iwrparing for M im- nien-e l.iu-inewi in ISM while tlie World's Fair Is o|..'ii in Chicago. The terminals at Chicago are capable of accommodat- ing ■ niiM-h heavier tr.itii-; than is now being done, and important changes are being arranged for the handling of very heavy freight and passenger business to the West from New York. Philadelphia and Ualtiiuore. New equipment -for largely increased paApeogsr business and an extensive stock of freight cars have been ordered. The yarious roads of the system will be improved by straightened lines, re-juotd rates, extra side tracks ami interlocking switches. The new litne hetween Chicago Junction and Akron has shortcaed the distance be- tween Chicago and tide water twenty- five, miles, and between llttslxirg aiid Chicago fifty-eight miles.

The distance between Chicago and I'ltuburg and Chicago and Cleveland by the construction of the Akron line and the Requisition of the Pittsburg and Western line and the Valley Railroad of Ohio, is about the same as via the Lake Shore from Cleveland to Chicago, and by the Pennsylvai la from Pittsburg to Chicago. The alignment is to lie changed and grades reduced to a maximum of twenty-six feet. It is expected that with- in twelve mint Its the old llaltimpre A Oliic through between Chicago and the Atlantic Ocean will have passed away snd the new Hue via Pittsburg be estab- lished, with i o greater grades or curva- ture than on any of the trunk lines.

Work hat already liegnu east of Pitts- burgh to meet improvements making west of Pittsburgh. These improve- ments "HI tionsist o| iklltloual second god thini tracks, a genera! correction of the alignment, and completion of the double track on ihe Metropolitan Branch. It is expected that the new through line will be leady simultaneously with the completion of the Belt Line through the City of Baltimore, which is intended to unite the Washington Branch with the Philadelphia Division anil do away with the pie&enl line yia Locust Point. Forty new and powerful locomotive engines were added to the eusinment during the last two months, and olhers'are in pror peas of construction." The permanent improvement now under way and in contemplation iuvolve the expenditure of some Bve millions of dollars.—Balti- more American.

our common country, jealous for the preservation of their free in- stitutions that the policy of the federal coutrol of elections to which the Republican party iias com mitted itself, is fraught with the gravest dungers, scarcely less mo- mentous than would result from a revolution practically establishing monarchy on the ruins of the Re- publicans- It strikes at the North as well as the South, and injures tho colored citizen even more than the white ; it means a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place armed with federal power, returning boards appointed and controlled by federal authority, the outrage of the electorial right of the people in ihe several States, the subjugation of the colored people to the control of the party in power and the reviving of race antagonisms now happily abated, of the utmost peril to the safety, and happiness of all; a measure deliberately and justly define, by a leading Republican Senator as "the most infamous bill that ever crossed tho threshold of the Senate,"

Suoh a policy, if sanctioned by law, would mean tho dominiance of a self perpetuating oligarchy of office holders, and the party first entrusted with its machinery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of tho people to resist oppression which is inherent in all self gov- erning communities. Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by the people at the polls; but in con- tempt of that verdict, the Republi- can party has definitely declared it its latest authoriative utterance that its success in tho coming elec- tions will meet the enactment of the force bill and the usurpation of despotic control over elections J in all States. Believing that the preservation of Republican gov- ernment in tho United States is de- pendent upon the defeat of this policy of legalized'force and fraud, we invite the assistance of all citi- zens who desire to see the consti- tution maintained in .its integrity with the laws pursuant thereto

| which have given our country a hundred years of unexampled prosperity; and we pledge the Democratic party, if it he entrust- ed with power *aot only to the defeat of the force bill, but also to relent- less opposition to the Republican policy of profligate expenditure, whioh in the short space of two years luuuquandered an enormous surplus and emptied an overflow- ing treasury after piling new bur- dens of taxation upon the already overtaxed labor, of the country.

Bao. & We denoanee Repub- lican protection as a fraud, a rob- bery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. Wc-dednro it to tw a fundamental principle of the oeratie party that U^Fnd^al crhment hfts vo . power tfl i»jwneW dirties, exaept **tf» mo«* of

rioultural States of the west there appears a real estate mortgage debt averaging tl6r> per capita, and that similar conditions are shown to exist in other agricultu- ral exporting States. We de- nounce a policy which fostor ho industry so much as it does.that of the sheriff.

Sec 4- Trade interchange on the basis of reciprocal advantage to the countries participating in a time honored doctrine of the Dein oeratic faith, but ve denounce tho sham reciprocity which juggles with tho. people's desire for enlarg- ed foreign markets and freer ex-' changes by pretending to establish trade relations for a country whoso articles of export arc almost ex- clusive agricultural while erecting a custom house barrier of prohibi- tive tariff taxes against the richest countries of the world when they stand ready to take our en- tire surplus of products and to ex- change there for oommodies which are necessary and are comforts of life among our owa people.

Sec. 5. Wo recognize in trusts and combinations, which are de- signed by capital to secure more than their just share of the joint product of capital and labor—a natural consequenco of' prohibi- tive taxes, which prevent the free competition, which is the life of honest trade, bnt we beliyeve their worst evils can bo abated by law, and we demand the right enforce- ment of laws made to prevent and control them together with suoh further legislation in restraint of their abuses as experience may show to be necessary.

Sec- 6. The Republican party, while professing a policy of re- serving the public lands for small holdings by actual settlers, has given away the peoples heritage until now a few railroads and non- resident aliedr individual and cor- porate, possess a larger area than that of all our farms between the two seas. The last Democratic administration reversed the im- provident and unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain and reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, alienated and domestic and restor- ed to the people, nearly ogie fans dred million acres of valuable land to he sacredly held as homesteads

r/for our cUueaua, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy Until every acre of land so unlaw- fully held shall he reclaimed and restored to the people-

Sec. 7. We dssjmmoe the Be- pubUcanlegisla^n

i ,.,' SMII gag ^.-^^-^ ly heeessasy for the proteotteu of the fermooj and' laboring the first and most dcfemaslisn ykh traos of unstable money said' a fluctuating currency.

Sec. 8. ■ We recommend that the prohibitive ten per cent tax on State bank iususe be repealed

See. 9. Pohho office is apublio trust. We re affirm the declaration of the. deBSocratic national conven- tion of 1878 for the reform of the civil service, and we esfl for the honest enforcement of all laws regarding the same. The nomina- tion of a president as in the hist republican convention by delegates consisting largely'of his appointees holding Offices at his pleasure is a scandalous satire upon free pop- ular institutions and a startling illustration of the method by whioh a President may gratify his ambi- tion. We denounce a policy under which federal office holders usurp control of party convention in the States and we pledge the demo- cratic party to the reform of those and all other abases which threaten individual liberty and local self government. .

Sec la Tbe democratic party is the only party that has over given the country a foreign policy consistent and vigorous, compell- ing respect" abroad and inspiring confidence at home. While avoid- ing entangling alliances, it has aimed to cultivate friondly rela- tions with other nations and es- pecially with our neighbors on the American continent, whose destiny is closely linked with our own, and we view with alarm the ten- dency to a policy of irritation and bluster which is liable at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war. We avor the maintenance of a navy strong enough for all purposes of national defence and, to properly maintain the honor and dignity of tbe coun- try abroad-

Sec 11. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every land, exiles for conscience sake, and in the spirit of the founders of our gov- ernment, we condemn the oppres- sion practiced by the Russian government upon its Lutheran and Jewish subjects, and we call upon our national government, hi the interest of justice and humanity, by all jnat and proper means to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of these cruel persesutions in the domin- ions of the Czar and to secure to the oppressed equal rights-

We tender our profound and earnest sympathy to those lovers of freedom, who are struggling for home inle and the great cause of local self-government in Ireland.

Sec. 13- We heartiy approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as a dumping ground for the known criminals and professional paupers of Europe, and we demand rigid enforcement of laws against China immigration or importation of for- eign workman under contract to degrade American labor and lessen its wages, but we oondemn and denounce any and all attempts restrict immigration of the indus- trious and worthy of-foreign lands.

Sec. 18. This convention renews the expression of appreciation of patriotism of the soildiers of the Union in the war for its preserva- tion, and we favor just and liberal pensions- for all disabled Union soldiers; their widows and depend- ente, but we demand thai the work

has invited the oo-operation of powaoi of the world and appreciat- ing the asecptance in many of-such powers uf the invitation extended, and the broadest liberal efforts being made by them to contribute to the grandeur of the «ndertaldng> we 'are of opinion that Congress should make such necessary, finan- cial appropriation as .shall be requisite to the maintenance of Hie National honor and public faith.

Sea., 17. Popular education being the only safe basis of popu-

we recommend, to tbe 'States most liberal appro-

for puplic schools. Free common schools are the nursery of good government, and they have always received the fostering ears of the Democratic party, which favors every means of increasing intelligence. Freedom of educa- tion being an essential of civil and religious liberty, as well as neces- sity for the development of intel- ligence murt not be interfered with under any /retext whatever. We aro opposed^ to State interference with parental right and rights of conscience in the education of children as an infringement of the fundamental Democratic doctrine that the largest individual liberty, consistent with the rights of others insures the.highest type of our citizenship and tho best govern- ment "

Sec. 18- We approve the action of the present House of Repre- sentatives in passing bills for the admission into the Union as States of the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the early admistration of all Territo-! ries having necessary population and resources to admit them to Statehood and while they remain Territories we hold that the offi- cials appointed to administer the government of any Territory, to- gether with the District of Colum- bia and Alaska should be bona fide residents of the Territory or District in which their duties are to.be performed. The Democratic party believes in home rale and control of their own affairs by the! people of the vicinage.

Sec. 19- We favor legislation by Congress and State Legislatures to protect the lives and limbs of, railway employes and those of other hazardous transportation companies and denounce the inac- tivity of the republican party andj particularly the republican Senate '■ for causing the defeat of the meas-, urea beneficial to this class of wage-workers.

Sec 20. We are in favor of en-'' aotment by States of laws for abol- [ ishing the notorious sweating B/B- j tern, for abolishing contract con -' vict labor and for prohibiting em-' ploy mont in factories of children j nnder 15 yearn of age- - I

Sec. 31. We are'opposed to all' sumptuary laws as an interference with the individual righto of citi- zens.

See 22. Upon this statement of principles and policies the Demo- cratic party asks ihe intelligent judgment of the American people. It asks a change of administration sad a change of party, in order that there may he a change of sys- tem and a change of methods, thus assuring the msintonanoo unim- paired of institutions under whioh the Republic has grown great and powerful. ■-__'

The Art Reception. The fourth annual art reception under

the management of Misses Rouse and Bogart was given in their studio in the Skinner building on last Thursday eve- ning. Those whose good fortune it was to be present at any one of tho former receptions could well anticipate with pleasure what was in store for all who should attend this lime, and to this event many had been looking forward with no little pleasure, and we feel sure In saying thtit none wont away without realizing their every anticipation. The hall was brilliantly lighted and on the walls were artistically arranged specimens of origi- nal work done by the pupils and several pieces by Misses Rouse and Bogart. We would like to give a list of the specimens and by whom executed but space forbids. It has been said that "practice and time makes perfect." A more perfect exem- plification of this maxim was never shown than on this occasion. The speci- mens ou exhibition were of such a high order that none but tho skilled artist could detect them from Being equal to that done by the masters. This work, reflects credit upon Misses Ronse aud Bogart as instructors, and the people of Greenville owe them a debt which money cannot pay. An interesting feature of the occasion was a recitstlsn by Miss Bessie White which was well rendered and elicited much applause. The man- agers had arranged to have refreshments served In the parlors of Dr. Marquis aud Mr. R. Hyman, In tin. same building, much 16 the delight of all; and 'till one o'clock there might have been seen ling- ering around this scene an occasional couple reluctant to leave this spot, re-

inbling so much the traditional grotto of fairy-land. We regret fcery much that With this reception closed "the art school which has been conducted so successfully for the past four years, and still more to know that tho teachers will no longer make G reen vll 1 e their home. Miss Rouse has -accepted a position In the Tarboro Collegiate Instltate, while Miss Bogart returns to Washington to gladden tltere the hearts of her host of admiring friends. The refining Influence that has gone out from the Infraction of these ladles ©so weU be noticed In many homos, and like the ripple on the water will coMmae tti1

Dr. Hall's Lectures.

The Rev. Dr. Hall, who lectured In Elliott's Hall a few evenings ago, return- ed to Greenville on last Tuesday evening ami lectured in the Court House and on the following evening in Elliott's Hall, The subject of tho former was "Happy lloines."' itideetl a happy subject and will work the careful consideration of our people. The doctor showed how all beings from the lowest form of animal life sought Its own home. Tho fowls of air, the fishes of the sea. beast of the Held* and last, man, tup crowning c:il>- stouc of creation, all Intentlvcly, os it were, sought to build that place of refuge from the cares and perplexities of out- side life, known as "Home, Sweet Homo." Hi* lecture wos full of Interesting and truthful illustrations. Interspersed with a sufficiency of wit and humor, making them Interesting as well us instruct Ive.

His hist lecture, subject.'"Our Boy John,'' was perhaps not so well received by the audience as the two preceding; but the doctor labored under many dis- advantages all of which the audience well understood. There wus another entertainment billed for (he same eve- ning and the doctor made his lecture much shorter than he otherwise would have done, leaving out, as ho said, tiic best part of the lecture much to the re- gret of the audience. This series of lec- tures will long be remembered by the Greenville people, and the doctor ilh a lecturer will always be a welcome visitor.

A Complimentary Party.

On Wednesday evening, the 27th Hit., a few Invited friends assembled at the home of Misses Nannie und Ella King to do honor to Miss Faiinlo Thornhill, of Appomattox, Va., Lady Principal of Juilsou Institute, Marion, Ala., who on her return home stopped a few days In Greenville to visit friends, and who was to leave for her Virginia home on the following morning. The following Is n list of those present and their costume*: Miss Jennie Williams, pink china silk, pearls; Miss Ilortense Forbes, cream china silk, pearls; Miss Bessie Janis, pink crepe.de chine, silver ornaments, Miss Carrie Cobb, pink and cream alba- tross, diamonds; Miss Nannie King, white silk, natural flowers; MUs Irene Grlrasley, pink silk, natural flowers; Miss Rosa Forbes, white. silk, no orna- ments ; Miss El hi Monteiro, white silk, diamond*; Miss Isabella Bogart, of Wash- ington, pink china silk, diamonds; Miss Mollle Rouse, white china silk, natural flowers; Miss Ella King, pink crepe de chine, rubies. Dr. ('.'has. Laughlnghouse, Mess. J. R. Moyc, J. G. Moye, J. A. An- drews, R. Ilyinan, W. B. James, E. C. Yellowlcy, W. F. Harding, Robt. Mnn- ford, G. B. King, Zeno Moore, Chas. A. Gough, J. 8. C. Benjamin, R. C. Flana- gan, all in full evening dress. Never has a gayer assemblage of beautiful young ladles and courtly gentlemen gathered together lu Greenville and every one seemed to vie with each other in making themselves agreeable and help- ing each other to have a pleasant and happy evening. Just as the hand point- ed to eleven Miss Nannie King announced that the presence of all were desired in the dining room, where every one re- paired without waiting for a second bid- ding, where was found waiting a table loaded with refreshments of a vari- ety too numerous to mention. After lingering In its presence and worship- ping at its shrine for more than an hour the party returned, some.to the parlors, some to the veranda, while, an occasional couple might be seen cornered -off in some quiet and shaded retreat engaged In conversation the import' ot which never grows old. Thus the moments slipped quickly by and ere anyone was aware the hour had arrived when .all must take themselves to their respective homes and soon the scone, which a short "time before had been one of pleasure and merry-making, was changed, and the participants were resting quietly In the arms of Morpheus- All whose good for- tune it was to be present feel themselves deeply indebted to- the Kisses King for the pleasure of the evening. The tact that they were entertaining is evidence within Itself that those who were present could not do otherwise than. hove a most delightful time.

-* A Day at Cot,»n

It was a glorious day. Everybody says so from the small boy who walked ten miles through mud and sun to eat barb©, cae and see the jrmie. down to the two majestic umpires who considered them- selves fortunate ill being alive at the close of the game. How could it lie otherwise for had not the fair ladles and gallant men ot the entire neighborhood assem- bled to throw aside for a day the cares of home and farm and to enjoy one ot na- ture's purest gifts to man—n beautiful day. The morning was -pent hi delight fill tete-a-tete In bugglrs, pleasant strolls through the hreesy grove and by some a game of croquet. When dinner was an- nounced all were more than anxious, and such a dinner, such a spread as only the housewife of Pitt knows how to provide. Several of the home young ladies at once took charge of tho Greenville players ami declared they should eat so much dinner Unit they would not be able to play much ball, and they all succeeded with one except Ion and that was the pretty young lady who had charge of Greenville's big first baseman. She loaded him to the brim and then filled his pockets. After the game she was heard to declare "the more that fellow- eats the more he plays." She didn't know Alex, oh. no! not much. After dinner the boy* donned their uniforms and at 8:110 game was called. Greenville was first at the bat and scored two runs before the third man was put out. When Cottendalc went to bat In their first In- ning- tile big dinner began to tell and they scored five runs on a succession of errors by the Greenville hoys—the rank- est errors ever seen on a ball field. CoU tendale could not bat while Greenville batted hard, but allowed their opponents to fill up runs through Strata. 'Below is the score by Innings:

Tbe leaves in l'ie for- est were almost turned over by one party or the other in the minute chase after clews, and it was more than a nine days' wonder where they could have gone. But Dagon knew and gurgled unintelligibly. The fish god doesn't toll aU his se- crets to Nineteenth century folk.

About three weeks later, when the great river had shrunk within its banks, two swollen and disfigured little, corpses were found stranded en a bar, somewhat knawod by fishes— but unquestionably all that was mor- tal of Snider and Red Leaf.

And Alkali fmd tho hairy man, each remembering their last words to their offspring, were remorseful after their kind. In the hairy man's opinion one grave should suffice for the battered little bodies, and it was so.

"Injuns may be pizen," he re- marked, "but this little girl must 'a* been very fond of my Snider to try swimmin the river with him in high water.' If there's any resurrection for one of them, thero is for the other, and I think maybe they'd like to rise together on that day.*' As ho ceased spoaking the first clod of tho hard, firm clay fell on the box in the sour earth that had been set aside for a gravoyard.

The Glass Snake.

The so called glass snake docs not break to pieces at the sight of an en- emy, as is commonly supposed, but, like some lizards, throws off its toll in an effort to escape. There are reveral llf»rds which, when attacked, for instance, by a bird or predacious animal, will throw off their tails, and the tail flopping up and down on the ground divorte the enemy, and thus gives tho lizard time to escape. The gloss snake adopts the same trick, and thus frequently saves itself. It is true, however, that the joints of this singular creature are so loosely connected that the snake will bo broken to pieces by a blow of a stick, though the idea of a reunion of tho broken parts is a superstitious ab- surdity. The broken joints do not reunite, though a new tell will grow out in a few months if the reptile has received no other injury.—St. Louis Glgbe-Democrat -

A True Story.

In the upper reservoir at Moun- tain View cemetery are planted a large number of German carp—the fishes now ranging in size from four to seven inches in length. Tho res- ervoir borders Blair park on the west, and tho menagerie at tho park consists of a big Tom cat. Tom is an expert fisher cat. Ho creeps along the margin of the reservoir, and when a carp pokes up its nose into the grass at tho edge of the lake to feed, Tom deftly pulls his carp- ship out and eats him. This is a true cot and fish story, and no dia- gram is considered necessary to prove it—Oakland Times.

recipe would be given for the per- manent cure of stammering. When the dollar was sent the receipt was returned, which simply read. "Keep your mouth shut" Another in- stance of this kind was where an ad- vertisement recited that for fifty cents a receipt would bo given for catching all tbe fish in any given body of water. When the fifty cents was sent a receipt would be returned telling the victim '.'to dip all the wa- ter out and then pick up tbe fish."

Another form of fraud is perpe- trated by means of advertisemente so worded as to mislead tho public Persons answering them think that for twenty-five cents they are to have a watch or some other valuable article when, in fact they merely get somo illustrated catalogue. An extensive fraud has been carried on by certain persons claiming to be commission merchants or produce dealers who send out their circulars and price lists offering prices higher than tho market, when, in fact, they have no commission house, and prob- ably only desk room in shop or sa- loon, and the goods shipped to them are received and sold at any price obtainable, no return whatever being made.

Some time since appeared a very glowing advertisement of a book ex- clusively for young, unmarried peo- ple—both gentlemen and ladies—tho price of which was five dollars. For the five dollars a very cheap edition of tho Bible was sent. A fine time- keeper, with the cut of a watch, would bo advertised for $1. Tho sender would expect a watch in re- turn, but he would get a sun dial. Groat frauds have been carried on by the proposed publication of hand- somely-illustrated books, for which photographs of prominent men were solicited. It was added that to have the necessary copper plates en- graved would cost $16.75. A sur- prisingly large number responded with photographs and money, but no books, of course, were published. —Washington Star.

The manager beckoned to me. point- ed to the new arrival, mumbled some- j thing and asked for tbe franc. I I gave it to him, concluding tho place was very near and that this man was to show me the way, and stepped out into the street after him.

"He raised his big umbrella and bore away at a tremendous gait I opened-my parasol and followed him. In two minutes we had turned four corners, and only for the beacon of the bobbing umbrella in front of me I was hopelessly lost in the Belgian capital. I didn't even know the street the hotel was in, and to add to my consternation the name of the hotel itself had escaped me. But I thought recovering my self possession after a little, Til come out all right; this fel- low is evidently going somewhere.'

"Such a chase as he led me I Twice I caught up to him and vainly tried to ask if we were nearly thero. He only muttered 'Boulevard Waterloo" and hurried on. Once I saw a cab coming, and running ahead I grabbed his arm and pointed to it But he didn't understand, and off we went once more.
